Member of the Pierce County Oral Health Coalition held their December meeting by celebrating the holidays at Olive Garden on Dec. 11. What a great looking group.

PCOHC members celebrated the culmination of another year of collaboration at our annual lunch and gift exchange.

Participating in the merry making were members from Bates College Dental Assisting Program, Bethel School District / Early Childhood & Preschool Program, Lindquist Dental Clinic for Children, Pierce County Dental Society, Puyallup Tribal Health Authority, SeaMar Community Health Care and the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. We thanked Denise Goudelock for her many wonderful years of service and dedication as PCOHC’s secretary.

Wishes to all for a Healthy and Happy Holiday season!
